Anyone have an assistant surgeon that was not a preferred doc with insurance?

My WLS doctor is a "preferred" provider w/Aetna, but the assisting surgeon is not. Will Aetna pay for him? In the past, I have had to pay a small precentage for "out of network" providers. If I am approved 100% for everything (surgery, testing, hospital stay), will I still have to pay our of pocket for the assisting surgeon? THANKS!!
